Jackie Burke

Jackie grew up with her sister and three brothers in Dublin, Ireland. She had dreamed of becoming a writer since she was a little girl but other things (like work, sport and baking) kept getting
in the way. Once she started writing "The Secrets of Grindlewood" she was entranced by the world appearing at her fingertips. What started as one book quickly turned into a series of five.

“The Secrets of Grindlewood” is inspired by all that Jackie loves in nature; gardens, forests, wildlife and especially cats and dogs. Book 1 in the “Grindlewood” series was her first outing as an
author. Book 2 was published in 2014 and Book 3 in 2015. Book 4 will be available in Autumn 2016.

Jackie and her husband live in Bray, County Wicklow, where they share their home with a big, fluffy cat.
